Comments on Yes, Cashman Called Him A Hall Of Fame Candidate

What about Sam Peckinpaugh? But, he’s still a dangerous bat, and knows how to call a game, along with the other catcher’s skill sets. HOF, no, I’d still take Jorge any day, and really hope he makes the HOF.

Correction to your title: Cashman called him a potential HoF candidate if he continued to produce his career stat line. You seem have took a subjective statement and turned into a matter of fact assessment.

Amazingly enough, despite hitting .232 both years, he’s been worth about what the Yanks have paid him. About 2 WAR in 2014 and about 3 WAR in 2015. Marginal value was about $15 million in 2014 and about $23 million last year.

Injuries are apart of the deal, but he played through a knee injury last year, and his hitting fell off because of it. If they play him less often this year, he might hit somewhat better.
